Hello and welcome to another chapter. I'm sorry for the gap between updates; school cornering me from every angle. Let's just start the chapter. Enjoy.

Right in front of the twins and Ino were Minato and Kushina. They heard that they died on their birthday when the Kyuubi attacked, but right now here they were. They were standing, breathing, and living. For some reason they just couldn't turn their attention elsewhere since the up show of the twins' parents. They were so astonished they didn't even blink for some time now. Then the twins asked the one burning question to someone special.

"WHY THE HELL YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THEM BEING ALIVE?!" they asked Kyuubi.

"Don't ask me! I'm just as shocked as you kits."

They turned their attention back to their parents and saw them walking towards Tobi. Minato took out his unique teleportation kunai as Kushina, frighteningly, cracked all bones in her body to loosen them. Minato vanished in a yellow flash and reappeared behind him. Tobi quickly turned around to attack, but Kushina crashed down on him exposing her monstrous strength. The twins and Ino tried their best to keep their balance as the very earth shook.

It didn't surprise Minato to see him dodge. Besides, he was hoping he'll dodge. He tossed his kunai at Tobi and it phased through him. Minato caught his kunai by teleporting to it and went to stab him. Felling the déjà vu moment, Tobi knew what was going to happen. Minato phased through him and Tobi made himself solid to take a hold of Minato. Minato soon felt him being sucked into the hole in Tobi's mask. He vanished out of harm's way and regrouped with Kushina.

"Did you do it?" Kushina asked softly.

"Yeah I did. He's still the same as when I fought him, but he's gotten stronger. I think we need the whole family," Minato replied.

"That's what I figured you'll say," Kushina calls her children over, "How about we all team up to take him down?"

The twins didn't have to be asked twice, matter of fact not even once. "Of course."

"Ok then, let's do this. Naruto, you're with me. Naruko, you're with your mother," stated Minato.

Through the connection of the Kyuubi chakra in Ino she received a message from Kyuubi, of course startling her first.

"You might as well get comfortable. This is a family dispute kit."

"Who are you calling kit?!"

"Of sorry Ino," Kyuubi sarcastically said.

Elsewhere, the sand siblings were facing Hidan. Gaara let them know of his eternity and they immediately wondered how they were to defeat him. Seeing them with the same face as him, he realized that they were thinking the same thing as him when he found out. Gaara then thought of the only possible way to defeat him. With telling Temari and Kankuro first, they got ready to charge bringing out their choice of weapons.

Kankuro dashed at Hidan first bringing Crow in front of him. Hidan smirked and simply kicked Crow out the way. It shocked him to see Kankuro below him and before he could counterattack, he was punched in his chin giving him enough air so Temari could deliver her attack. She gave a mighty swing and, instead of blowing him into the air, sliced his body. He landed on the ground still showing his cocky grin.

"I told you, it doesn't matter how much you injure me, I'll never die," Hidan said.

"Who said we were trying to kill you?" Temari and Kankuro stated.

Just then the ground beneath Hidan started to move. He looked down and saw sand starting to sink him into it. He looked at Gaara to see him with his hand on the ground as it continued to suck him in. Soon his whole body was engulfed in the sand and the sand stopped moving and returned to Gaara. For the first time since he started the battle, he heard silence. He looked over to where the twins were and could tell them where still fighting.

He was going to help them when Shukaku stopped him saying Kyuubi wished for no interruptions. Not completely knowing why, he dropped it. After all, if they needed help he would know. Temari and Kankuro looked at him as if they could tell something was wrong. Finally realizing what their looks meant he told them not to worry. Even with their brother's words, they didn't feel better. They knew he was hiding something.

Sasuke and Tou faced Itachi and, needless to say, Itachi took them both on with ease. Sasuke encased himself and Tou inside the Susanoo seeing Itachi create his and swung his sword. Sasuke's Susanoo shield appeared and blocked the attack. It pushed back his sword leaving it wide open. Sasuke quickly shot an arrow at Itachi and it got sliced in half with Itachi's next sword in the other hand.

"Foolish little brother, I told you that you can't beat me," Itachi stated.

"We'll see about that," Sasuke replied with a smirk.

Noticing the smirk on his face and that Sasuke was now alone in his Susanoo, he looked upwards. He sees the sky starting to turn gray and the clouds starting to spiral. Soon a lightning dragon came out of the clouds. Deep within the dragon, Sasuke sees Tou. Many things were going through his mind, but he was brought back seeing it collide with Itachi's Susanoo. The blast was so intense a person could hear it half way across the world. [I might be over exaggerating a bit, just a bit.]

The smoke took some time to clear, but it did eventually. Tou was seen walking out slowly and looked as if she could fall any minute. Sasuke cancelled his Susanoo to help Tou. When he got there, he could her fast pants and she was sweating like crazy. Sasuke could already tell that the jutsu took up too much of her chakra, not to mention she did finish a battle before coming to him. She dropped lifelessly and Sasuke caught her.

"Hey Tou, you ok?"

"Y-Yeah I-I think."

"Why did you use that jutsu when you knew this was going to happen?"

"Be-Because I u-use it as a…a last re-resort."

"At least it's over now."

"I wouldn't say that brother."

Sasuke quickly snapped his head to the side to see his brother standing. He showed some signs of being damaged, but the Susanoo blocked most of it. It pained Sasuke to see Itachi, but it pained him more to know that Tou's efforts were in vain. He looked down at her and she gave a weary smile and told him to go. Zabuza appeared and offered to help, but Sasuke quickly denied.

"I appreciate the offer, but this is between my brother and me alone. After what Tou did, I can't let it be in vain. Take her to the hospital so she could replenish her chakra. And that's a direct order."

"Yes, I will."

After Zabuza left, Itachi spoke up. "You should've taken his offer."

"It started with us and it will end with us."

That's the end of the chapter. Sorry for the late update, this whole week was, and I mean, troublesome. I'm going to sleep now. Bye MasterNaruians!
